If you want to enjoy the benefit of oats we recommend you discuss this fully with your GP or dietician before doing so.

In addition, all oat products can contain small quantities of other grains such as wheat and/or barley.

Healthy eating

What is the maximum number of Weetabix I can eat every day?

The key to a healthy diet is balance. No one food provides all the nutrients (food components) you need for health. Therefore, by eating a variety of foods in appropriate amounts you can achieve the balance you need.

Weetabix is an ideal food from a healthy eating point of view as it is low in fat, high in fibre and low in sugar. It provides an excellent breakfast and an ideal snack any time of the day, including bedtime. However, balance is the key, and you can have too much of a good thing. Weetabix is fortified with certain vitamins and minerals and if eaten to excess, then you could be taking in too much of these nutrients.

We would recommend that an adult eats no more than four (4) Weetabix biscuits per day. Taking this amount will leave room for you to eat other foods and have some variety in your diet.

Salt and sugar are added to cereals to aid cooking, texture and taste. The salt and sugar levels of our cereals are regularly monitored to make sure only the minimum amounts are used to give the maximum effect.

A two biscuit serving of Weetabix contains one fiftieth of a teaspoon of salt (0.1g), 1.7% of the FSA's suggested daily salt intake.Each Weetabix contains one hundredth of a teaspoon of salt (0.05g), 0.8% of the FSA's suggested daily salt intake.A two biscuit serving of Weetabix contains less than half a teaspoon of sugar (1.7g).Each Weetabix contains less than a fifth of a teaspoon of sugar (0.9g).

Ready brek Original contains no added salt or sugar.

Why fortify cereals?

We produce a range of breakfast cereals, bars and drinks to suit our varied customer's needs.

Where we fortify products it makes a valuable contribution to our vitamin and mineral intake.

Corporate & environment

What are your packaging materials made of?

You may be aware of an updated EFSA (European Food Standards agency) paper published on 28th Aug 2013. The report confirms that Mineral oils can be used as solvents in inks for printing newspapers and magazines and that newspapers can be present in recycled board. This report stated that the industry-wide issue could potentially affect any food products using recycled board containing newspaper.

Whilst the board we used was considered by the UK Food standards Agency to be safe we have elected to eliminate any cause for concern whatsoever and have chosen to change our packaging.

We are pleased to share with you that we have sourced new cardboard to eliminate any doubt that mineral hydrocarbons could be contained within our packaging.

In addition to this, we were guided by the UK Food Standards Agency whose current advice is that there are no immediate health concerns.

Weetabix takes great care to minimise any risk by ensuring the inks used to print our packaging do not contain mineral hydrocarbons and are safe for use on food packaging. Our cardboard packaging is, of course, recyclable.

We do hope that you like the new packaging and understand our reason for change. We look forward to you enjoying your Weetabix for many years to come.

Can your packaging be recycled?

All our packaging now contains on-pack recycling logos to help you identify which parts you can recycle and which are not currently recycled. Our cardboard cartons are widely recycled by local councils as part of their kerbside collection schemes. These are often turned into more cardboard, although some councils compost the cartons instead. At the moment our plastic-based packaging is not recycled by many local councils. The inner bags used for most of our cereals can be recycled with shopping bags at larger retailers. We are however, working closely with a number of organisations and our suppliers to improve the recycling of these materials.

You can find out more about recycling in your area by visiting recyclenow which provides useful information to help you recycle your packaging and explains how on-pack recycling logos work.

Do any of your products contain GMOs?

All ingredients supplied to Weetabix Ltd and all products produced by Weetabix Ltd are free of Genetically Modified (GM) material and are not derived from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) as defined in the regulations on GM food and feed ((EC) 1829/2003) and the regulations on traceability and labelling of GMOs and products produced from GMOs ((EC) 1830/2003)
